Your SMALL Voice

My mom used to say, ‘listen to your little voice.’ I always thought Jimminy Cricket should be around, somewhere right? Because I don’t hear a little voice. I never knew that I didn’t want to listen to it, and when I did – I didn’t recognize it as a small voice. I just thought I was doing the right thing. The SMALL Voice is simply either a gut check, or a tiny thing that “Makes you go hmmmmm.” I’ll be the first to point out, during the small foray of dating that voice saved my bacon a few times (and let me tell you I kept getting the oddest situations to be in).
Your SMALL Voice is an indicator, like a Geiger counter shooting upwards then back down to normal. Mine typically indicates “WARNING, Danger zone ahead,” however it can also be very tiny and indicate an oddity you must pay attention too, like red flags that are triggers for you. So how can you tell you heard the voice?
Ask this:
During an interaction did you happen to think suddenly “that was odd”?
What was it that you heard that triggered the thought that something was off?
During an interaction did you suddenly have a tight feeling in your gut, feel panic, or fear?
Why did you feel those feelings?
During the interaction did you suddenly get angry, upset, irritated (these are not Ego state reflections rather just a sudden feeling)?
What was said that put you in that state?
After an interaction, or during meditation did something suddenly come to you that you hadn’t noticed during the interaction?
That is The SMALL Voice talking to you, and you had better listen to it. Deciding what to do based off the feelings isn’t always the correct way to handle the situation, but it does highlight what your inner self is telling you.
